I looked at the Adendorf unit and it makes the HF e-wheel look like a Bentley. It is also a really small frame. The planisher isn't too bad though.

I rate it expensive for what you get. I managed to import Hoosier anvils and built Kerry's design of frame for a few rand more and have a lifetime investment in a fine tool.

IMO, rather go quality - it's 'cheaper' in the long run.
